850 needed, probably 1200 to be hired, 100 a month maybe by October is what some of the instructors were told. Although last year it was supposed to be much stronger than it was this year.

Honestly the first indication of ramped up hiring will be when they start running larger interview classes. Even when hiring was going full bore there was normally a 6-8 week wait between interview and indoc. To my knowledge interview groups have still been in the 5-7 people range or less for quite some time. Once that jumps up to 10+ that'll be your indicator that classes are about to get yuuuuuge....

Of course it could all be a negotiation ploy on mgmts part too. I was never a big fan of Dickson but things sure have gone downhill since his departure. With JG and Capt, I mean Co-pilot, I mean Capt with LCA supervision RG in charge Im losing confidence rapidly.
I can’t believe this is some management ploy during negotiations. Risking our customer goodwill and brand name just to stick it to the pilots would be pure folly. I honestly think upper management has no clue how badly things have been run this summer compared to recent years. The metrics look great, but the product is in decline.

That would be such an obviously dumb stratedgy even the B-School morons of the 90s wouldn't be doing it. Zero chance of success.
Oh look, we're trashing your QOL to make you sign a POS TA leaving in place the same gaps and loopholes that enable it in the first place, so sign that POS TA and we will hire to the point of being so fat no one will have to ever work on reserve etc.
Literally no one would fall for it and they would look obviously bad for trying.
